Growing concentrations of methane in the atmosphere threaten to derail progress against climate change even as carbon emissions in the world level off. Scientists explain why we need to pay attention to the global methane budget.

The Paris Agreement is an extraordinary achievement. But there is much work to be done to ensure global warming does not exceed dangerous levels, say Global Carbon Project head Pep Canadell and Stanford University professor Rob Jackson.
